Saint of the day · March 1
2nd Sunday of Lent — Sunday
Psalm of the day: Psalm 114
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

You who are a Warrior Saint, you who are the Saint of the afflicted, you who are the Saint of the desperate, you who are the Saint of urgent causes, protect me, help me, give me strength, courage, and serenity.
Attend to my request (make your request).
Help me overcome these difficult hours, protect me from all who may harm me.
Protect my family, attend to my request with urgency.
Restore my peace and tranquility.
I will be grateful for the rest of my life and will carry your name to all who have faith.
